Ren Skincare - Frankincense Revitalising Night Cream Review

Hey guys, sorry it's been a while I haven't really found the time for blogging as late and I do apologise, and will make a conscious effort to post more!

I recently discovered this night cream after realising that in the winter months I need to moisturise both morning and night in order to keep my skin smooth and hydrated, so I rifled through my drawer and found this sample I received (click here for previous Ren Review)


 This cream absolutely works wonders and I couldn't believe how smooth my skin felt in the morning after using this and has become a staple in my skincare routine over the past few weeks. The product is non greasy, absorbs really easily and feels smooth and is pleasant to put on. It has a subtle scent but nothing too overpowering.

I think when my sample size runs out this is definitely something I will look into purchasing.

L'Occitane Samples Review

I recently had the pleasure of receiving a lot of beauty samples from the company L'Occitane (thanks to my friend Kelly's excellent advice) and I would ideally love to review them all, however I received so many, I decided to split them up into mini reviews.


The first product I tried out was the Precious Night Cream, as I was writing this up in the evening. This full size product is £49.00 and is one of L'Occitane's best sellers. This cream claims to reinforce skin regeneration, corrects deep wrinkles and improves skin firmness. I mainly wanted to try this to see if it would even out my complexion overnight.

This cream went on really well and was nice and thick, which is how I like a night cream to be because you know it will sink in overnight. I'll be honest it has a strange scent to it, a bit like white emulsion paint but after smearing it on the smell soon went away.

After using this cream, I woke up and my skin was hydrated and soft, thumbs up from me.

That same morning, I also decided to try out a couple of other products. First was the Relaxing Hand Balm at just £12.00 this is a really good price.

 This hand balm is enriched with shea butter and essential oils so not only smells amazing, it's super nourishing too.
It made my hands feel soft and smooth and had a lovely clean scent to it which lasted on the skin for ages.

The third and final product I tried out was the Eau Ravissante Fresh Cologne, at £37.00 full price.

This had a floral scent which reminded me of summer. Not only can this be used as a cologne, this can also be poured into bath water, or soaked onto a handkerchief and used as a calming method, which I think is fantastic.

Overall, I am very impressed with the L'Occitane samples that I have tried so far, and I will be definitely giving the other products a trial in the near future, so stay tuned for future reviews :)
